The 38-year-old, who has scored 198 goals in 498 appearances over 13 years with the team, confirmed his departure in a statement shared by the club on Thursday.

Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha expressed deep admiration for Vardy, highlighting the striker’s exceptional contribution to the club. "Jamie is unique.
